Photobucket has changed their rules of usage. They are not allowing embedded photos to forums with the FREE accounts most of us at GALS have.
This will mean the end of our avatars, signatures and images of Gerry that we're so fond of sharing in our posts. IF they are shared, they will be watermarked over the entire image.
Unfortunately, your signature/avatar images cannot be hosted by GALS as that would drive up the cost of hosting, which we already struggle to pay.

Photobucket Changes won't allow embedded images to forum!
There are alternative services, most require fees.
